  35 if you change the line as stated you will break support in services for the
  36 channel owner flag. as services connects to a server it talks to the ircd as
  37 a server not as a client, and the unreal 3.2 protocol uses * as a chan owner
  38 flag between SERVERS, and &amp; IF compiled to support the new flags for
  39 CLIENTS, or just the old @ IF NOT compiled for the new flags for CLIENTS..
  40 it's not recommened to change any of those types of flags in services
  41 packages, or even IRCd's themselves unless you know how the protocol works.

  45 &gt;<i> OK, I'll start this off by saying that I know nothing about
  46 </I>&gt;<i> C programming...
  47 </I>&gt;<i>
  48 </I>&gt;<i> Anyway, I was feeling bored, so I was reading over unreal.c
  49 </I>&gt;<i> and I noticed this in the &quot;new channel user modes&quot; section:
  50 </I>&gt;<i>
  51 </I>&gt;<i>     {'h', {0x00000004,1,1,'%'}}, /* Half-op */
  52 </I>&gt;<i>
  53 </I>&gt;<i> Now, I'm probably horribly wrong, but the &quot;%&quot; probably
  54 </I>&gt;<i> denotes the user prefix (since halfop's nicks are prefixed
  55 </I>&gt;<i> with a %).
  56 </I>&gt;<i>
  57 </I>&gt;<i> If I'm right, then take a look at the next two lines:
  58 </I>&gt;<i>
  59 </I>&gt;<i>     {'a', {0x00000008,1,1,'~'}},
  60 </I>&gt;<i>     {'q', {0x00000010,1,1,'*',MI_CHANOWNER}},
  61 </I>&gt;<i>
  62 </I>&gt;<i> Assuming that my above premise is correct, this code
  63 </I>&gt;<i> wouldn't be correct, as +a gets the &amp; prefix and +q the ~
  64 </I>&gt;<i> prefix in UnrealIRCd. I haven't yet tried changing this
  65 </I>&gt;<i> code to see what happens; I'll give that a go this evening.
  66 </I>&gt;<i>
  67 </I>&gt;<i> Of course, I could be horribly, horribly wrong... if I am,
  68 </I>&gt;<i> would someone mind correcting me on this?
  69 </I>&gt;<i>
